Patrick J. McDonough Appears as Legal Analyst on Fox News

Patrick J. McDonough has appeared on Fox News as one of their Atlanta based legal analysts. Recently on Fox News, McDonough spoke on the issues surrounding revenge pornography. McDonough explained how currently there are civil remedies for victims, but that can be a costly endeavor and not available to most victims. McDonough did note the trend is for states to criminalize this behavior. First amendment advocates will surely challenge these statutes, but McDonough believes if the statutes are drafted narrowly they should withstand Supreme Court scrutiny. McDonough said the lesson is twofold: first, one should not take any uncompromising pictures of themselves and send them to current partners, and second, jaded ex-partners should think twice before posting these images.
